"In the case of 'Vertigo,' I was thinking about this awful nightclub we've all been to. You're supposed to be having a great time and everything's extraordinary around you and the drinks are the price of buying a bar in a Third World country. You're there and you're doing it and you're having it and you sort of don't want to be there. And it felt like the way a lot of people were feeling at that moment, as you turn on the telly or you're just looking around and you see big, fat Capitalism at the top of its mountain, just about to topple. It's that woozy, sick feeling of realizing that here we are, drinking, eating, polluting, robbing ourselves to death. And in the middle of the club, there's this girl. She has crimson nails. I don't even know if she's beautiful, it doesn't matter but she has a cross around her neck, and the character in this stares at the cross just to steady himself." - Bono, U2 By U2 2006

Lights go down It's dark, the jungle is Your head can't rule your heart And fear is taking over Every thought Your eyes are wide And though your soul It can't be bought Your mind can wander

Hello, hello Hello, hello I'm at a place called Vertigo It's everything I wish I didn't know Except you give me something I can feel Feel

The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky Of ink with gold They twinkle As the boys play rock and roll They know that they can't dance At least they know

I can't stand the beats I'm asking for the check Girl with crimson nails Has Jesus 'round her neck Swinging to the music Swinging to the music

Hello, hello Hello, hello I'm at a place called Vertigo It's everything I wish I didn't know But you give me something I can feel Feel
